Salt in non-SWG pool result observations

[Mom2Czars]

So you ended up with 200# of salt? By the bleach calc, that would be a level of around 1777ppm.

Curious about the heat retention...that would be a negative for me at this point in the season. We've just been through a heat wave and my pool was at 87 yesterday. Not so refreshing.

I swam in my neighbors SWG pool for the first time and the water felt good. There is a slightly different taste to the water but if I wasn't looking for salt I don't think I would have tasted anything different. I'm sold.

Cautionary note: Over a 20 year period, salt in the pool may show diminishing returns with regard to wife's (former fiancee's) skin softness and willingness to have it rubbed.

I hope so. God has crule humor. Man hits his prime early 20s and a woman doesnt care. Woman hits her prime in mid 30s, mans so worn out from trying at that point and he doesnt care.

I can feel a mod slap for that one

Steve,
I'm interested in your observations as time goes by... any corrosion, salt residue, large increase in sodium due to adding bleach, etc.
Keep us posted on whether you continue to like your pseudo-saltwater pool!

Grace I will try to do a weekly or so update with chemistry and impressions.
Dawn brought back the results from the pool store I won’t post the regular chemistry from there because I know it is a load of manure. I am surprised they only tried to sell her muratic acid.

Chemistry from me.
FC 4
TC 4

I overshot my goal of 2000 by a little bit but that is ok.

MedVampire - I am really tempted to go salty with my non-SWG 24K gall IG vinyl. I don't have a salt test with my kit. What kind of salt did you buy? And from where? Thx -
